Snow and Rain Bring the Midwest Needed Moisture
Farmers Welcome Relief But Fear An Early Frost, Causing Great Damage To Grain Crops
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26 – (UP)
Rain snow and cold weather swept into
the Midwest today, adding greatly
needed moisture to farm lands but
carrying also the threat of frost and freezing
weather.
Snow which fell in Wyoming and Colorado turned to rain on the clouds moved outward over Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.
At Garden City, Kan., a steady drizzle fell most of Saturday. Farmers were apprehensive that the skies might clear and cause fruit. Much grain is still maturing and would be damaged if frost occurred. Many farms greatly needed for pastures and wheat.
Rain also fell in Minnesota, Iowa Oklahoma and Texas. In western Nebraska there was sufficient snow to interrupt air lanes' schedules Saturday morning. It was snowing in the mountains west of Denver.
Aside from the threat of frost Kansas and Missouri farmers welcomed the rain. It was not only needed for crops pastures and water supply, but enable them to get into their fields for fall planting.
Iola, Folt Scott, Hutchinson, Concordia, Anthony, Emperia, Eureka, Hanover, McPherson, Topeca, Wichita, Panola, Osage City and Leptonam all received from a quarter to three-quarter of an inch of rain.
Salina recorded more than an inch, Manhattan received more than an inch of rainfall, which was welcomed by everyone but the crowd that had assembled to see the Fort Hays-Kansas State football game.
In Missouri the rain area extended over the western half of the state Saturday and the weather bureaut forecast that the rain would move eastward overnight accompanied by low temperature.

A New High For Library Work? New Steps Cause?
Circulation records reached a new high at the reserve room of Watson library Thursday, Sept. 24, when 1,340 books were checked out at one time by students, reports C. M. Eaker, director of campus libraries.
"This is considerably above anything we've ever had at this season of the year," says Mr. Baker. The other high was made at examination time.
According to Mr. Baker this record was broken by newcomers and undergraduates, since most of the books it the circulation desk in the basement
Possibly this record might be attributed to the increase in enrolment and perhaps the new front entrance is the extra incentive.

Milwaukee, Sept. 25 (UP)-Governor Alfred M. Landon, tonight, assailed the Roosevelt administration's social security legislation as a "cruel hoax on the American worker" and proposed the substitution of a "common sense, pay-as-you-go" old age pension plan.
"I am a profound believer in the justice and necessity of old age pension," the Republican presidential nominee said in outgoing campaign speeches to be "much less expensive" than the present plan. "The current legislation," he asserted, is a glaring example of bungeing and waste. It endangers the whole cause of social security; it is unjust, unequal, unduly made and wasted financially.
